The amount of poly films I’ve seen probably lessens my regard for this specific one. I’ve seen the beats of this story many times before. And Before We Grow Old’s take on those beats is a particularly boring one. 4.8/10

Walk With Me is about as interesting as its title. If this movie was a colour, it would be beige. 5.2/10
Blue finds itself in the quiet moments, and is happy to linger there and construct this gentle romance and the tragedy that comes with it. 6.9/10
Most sapphic movies that are bad and cheap are just boring. Butterfly Crush ain’t boring. It’s weird as hell and so incompetent it almost reaches the uncanny valley Yeah, the core love story here is between a man and a woman. But please, let me have this one. I need it. 2.1/10
Unexpected was almost exactly what I expected for a German TV movie about a lesbian romance. No real surprises here! 5.8/10
My Old Ass is a charming, funny and moving film from a bisexual director. It clearly seems to play on the director’s personal experiences and does so with a lot of heart. 8.1/10
The Nightmare Gallery is slightly better, but much less interesting than you might think from looking at this review’s header image. 2.9/10
While Blood of the Tribades has a sense of humour, this is a movie that has some weirdly deep lore and is ultimately, not a comedy. Which is sort of disappointing because it doesn’t exactly work as a horror movie. 4.1/10
Daughters of Fire is not a series of scary images that is hollow at its centre. This is a movie loaded with meaning, intent and things to say both with its scares as well as in addition to these scares. 7/10
Bad Things may be the sapphic equivalent of The Shining, but that equivalency is based on plot similarities, not equal quality. 4.6/10
